Chapter 29 After the War
A fire overnight caused nearly a hundred warships to be lost. After an inventory, only seventeen ships were reported to be intact. The most eye-catching pirate flagship was naturally destroyed in the fire.

The culprit of the arson was also caught that night. This was a pirate who slipped through the net. Several of them were members of the left-behind stronghold. They managed to escape in the chaos and hid in the nearby forest. After learning that the main force had been wiped out, Knowing that he had no chance of leaving Kuban Island safely, he set fire to the warship.

Richard was very angry. He was so angry that his face was distorted. He directly ordered several culprits who were still crying and begging for mercy to be buried alive. Watching the pirates gradually being submerged in the soil, Richard's anger did not get much relief. , he took a deep breath and could only admit that he was unlucky.

Fortunately, there were still seventeen pirate ships left that could be used. After thinking about it, Richard decided to keep them for his own use. Even if they were not used for naval battles, it would be convenient to transport troops in the future.

Leaving a team of heavily armed sergeants to take care of the remaining warships, Richard returned to Nuremberg. As soon as he returned to the town hall, his consciousness entered the system in his mind, and he checked the city information.

……

At present, Richard does not lack the army, so the militia barracks were directly vetoed by him. Compared with the high-end pike militia, the heavily armored sergeants now have are enough to cope with the current war.The embarrassing situation encountered when preparing for the funeral of the soldiers the day before forced Richard to move the religious building to the front of the stage.

Generally speaking, funerals in the Middle Ages—oh no, to be precise, after the widespread spread of Christianity, priests were required to pray for funerals after death. Minus this custom.

This has actually made many people dissatisfied, but due to Richard's identity, no one dared to raise it in person.

Therefore, Richard included the first-level religious building, the chanting house, into the construction sequence, and then the port that was delayed again and again. The temporary port was dilapidated after the arson case and could not be delayed any longer.

The price of the two buildings is also 800 dinars, and the combined price is 1600 dinars. This amount of money is considered drizzle for Richard now. He already has more than 8000 dinars in stock, plus rewards for completing tasks Yes, broke the [-] mark all at once.

After confirming the building to be built, Richard turned his attention to the four ex-pirate warships with sailors, and he remembered that these people have not had a formal name so far, and it just so happens that Richard has a custom name for the arms The power, he just used it by the way.

However, after much deliberation, he still didn't think of a good name for a name-caller.Compared with the casual names such as "Kirk Warship" and "Dromon Warship" in the game, the "Imperial Warship" and "Auxiliary Warship" that he thought of were meaningless.

While having a headache, Richard's eyes suddenly glanced at the map spread out on the desk, and the position of Kuban Island was highlighted and bolded with a red pen on it, which gave him an instant inspiration.

"Let's name it Cuban Warship!"

[The setting of the unit Kuban warship is completed, currently it cannot be recruited from the system, but it can be recruited through the indigenous people. 】

……

a few days later.

The aftermath of the war no longer affected Nuremberg. Farmers who were no longer threatened by the war began to go out of the town to start spring plowing on the flat land. They planted the wheat seeds they bought from the grain business with the hope of harvesting, while fantasizing about how many Harvesting months later, while sweating on this fertile land.

In the forest far away from the town, the hunter holding a hunting bow lowered his body and slowly approached the wild deer looking for food. His eyes were only on the fat animal. Seeing that the other party did not notice the approaching danger at all, the corner of the hunter's mouth slightly raised, and he bowed Leading the arrow, pull the bowstring of the hunting bow to the full moon shape, and then loosen the finger, and the arrow with the iron arrowhead is shot out quickly, hitting the wild deer's vital point before it can react.The wild deer could only neigh in pain, and knelt down on the ground, watching the smiling Orion walk out of the hiding place, approaching him step by step.

In order to find food, the residents of Nuremberg who are close to the Rhine Lake (this is the new name Richard gave to the lake next to Nuremberg, of course, the name comes from the Rhine River) will naturally not give up the ready-made grain production area of ​​the Rhine Lake. They started The nearby trees are cut down and made into small rafts, and then a group of several people carry the woven fishing nets into the lake to fish.The clear Rhine Lake is rich in fishery resources. You can catch a bunch of big fish with just one net, whether it is grass carp, carp, crucian carp, or silver carp. If you are lucky, you may even catch some prawns.

While agriculture is developing, weak industries are also secretly developing.The pirates who were captured in the Battle of Bassa Island and the pirates who were captured this time were locked in a dark mine, day after day, year after year, wielding small picks and hammering against the hard ore. Perhaps they were In spare time, we can still miss the all-powerful situation in the Sea of ​​​​Shining, but now we are only worthy of trembling under the whip of the supervisor.

It is worth mentioning that those overseers with leather whips are selected from the pirate slaves, and they are guaranteed to be the ones who work the hardest and are the most obedient. After becoming overseers, they often rely on their own The power abused the companions who worked hard together in the past, venting their anger.

Richard would not care about the internal affairs of these lowly slaves, nor would the heavy-armored sergeant centurion stationed in the mine. He and his soldiers would just gloat on the sidelines and at most warn the supervisor not to type Human life, after all, slaves are still a scarce commodity, and every death means one less, but there is nowhere to find such free coolies.

Time passed day by day in the peace after the war, but this peace did not last long. After the end of spring plowing, an order that should have come in a few months came to Kuban Island with a message.

Kingdom of Ramirez declares war on Kingdom of Ravana!
